This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores potential links between the agriculture and tourism sectors that could strengthen infrastructure development and inclusive growth in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Over the last 3 decades, the Lao People's Democratic Republic has seen remarkable economic growth, with per capita income quadrupling between 1989 and 2019. However, this growth has been accompanied by widening inequality as the economy generated limited job opportunities beyond agriculture. In the aftermath of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, this report emphasizes the need to develop synergies between agriculture and tourism. It recommends investing in infrastructure, human capital, and digital connectivity among other development areas in the country's agriculture and tourism sectors.
Download or read book Lao PDR written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has shown remarkable progress by consistently building itself into a market-oriented economy, with economic growth in 1986-2016 averaging around 6.5% per annum. The rapid and sustained growth brought about changes in the structure of output, but did not alter job composition: resource-based products still dominate in industry, low value-added jobs in services, and 65% of the labor force in agriculture. This country diagnostic study provides comprehensive analysis and identifies promising new drivers of growth which the Lao PDR can develop to diversify its production structure and speed up structural transformation.
Download or read book Hand In Hand Initiative Lao People s Democratic Republic concept note written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hand-in-Hand Initiative (HHI) was launched by the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), QU Dongyu, to help tackle the slow and negative trends in achieving the SDG targets, in particular the persistence of extreme poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The evidence-based, country-led and country-owned Initiative seeks to accelerate the agricultural transformation and sustainable rural development and brings an innovative approach to partnering through match-making. Countries and their partners are empowered through sophisticated data sharing and model-based analytics to improve the targeting of policies, innovation and investment. HIHI is an inclusive process that aims to build partnerships, alliances and synergies among public and private actors, as well as the international development partners for the goals of eradicating poverty and hunger and reducing inequalities. It will channel the required resources – technical, financial, institutional and human capital – to where they are needed the most and where the potential for reaching the SDG 1, SDG 2 and SDG 10 targets is greatest. On the occasion of the FAO Director-General’s visit to Lao PDR in March 2020, the HIHI was discussed as an opportunity to address key impediments to achieving the SDG1, SDG2 and SDG10. The Government of Lao PDR (GoL) suggested the HIHI be implemented in the emerging economic corridor along the Lao-China railway line. This key national infrastructure connects the country with the world’s largest market, China and other countries in ASEAN – the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. HIHI enhances the capacity of previously isolated communities to effectively and sustainably take advantage of the emerging opportunities afforded by the railway. This concept note highlights a general approach and process to address key impediments to achieving SDG 1, 2 and 10 targets in Lao PDR. It intends to generate support, partnership and engagement from a wide range of new and traditional partners such as the private sector, international agencies, resource partners and the target communities themselves. The proposed approach and framework are not a blueprint but rather a flexible mechanism that will adapt to emerging opportunities and partnerships, building synergies with relevant ongoing and planned initiatives.`
